IRIS 8-Panel Plastic Exercise Dog Playpen

Our large backyard is fenced on all 3 sides, leaving open the area by the house and garage. We were about to babysit our 2 Grand doggies and was hoping our Maltese and them would enjoy having the run of the yard. This fence was the perfect answer as to how to keep them all safely contained for a reasonable cost. It arrived the very next day, along with our 2 canine "guests", and my husband had it set up in no time! It appears to be extremely sturdy and well made, as well as high enough to keep them from jumping over it. It was easy to straighten across the yard opening, and a cinch to open one panel to enter through. It appears quite nice to visitors at our back door.

Thanks Chewy for another quality product to enhance our dog's lives, as well as ours! … more

This took longer to arrive than other chewy orders, which I am totally okay with. However, we were counting on it when it came in, unfortunately when it showed up literally only the walls arrived, nothing to hold it together. I called Chewy to get a replacement and was helped by someone who clearly seemed annoyed saying "I don't think anything else is supposed to come with it" and I explained to her that if she looks in the photo there is a latch on the door and sticks that hold the gates together in place. Nonetheless, she sent a replacement however its a bummer that in these puppy days where the playpen would be vital we are having to wait a whole additional week for our product. :/

I really would have loved to give 5 stars as I so like the panels on this play pen. The design is a super plus, if I want to removed just one panel or two I can. Very versatile so they did an amazing job with that. HOWEVER, first, the screws that you put the door plates on with are near impossible. I had to go through all of my screw drives before I could find one that would work. Very frustrating. Next a serious flaw is the door lock/latches!!!!!!!!!!! My pup has already gotten out simply by wiggling her little bum against the door. We have an adult dog that isn't too thrilled with her so it is imperative she stays in that pen. I would never trust this pen outside! The door latches are I really would have loved to give 5 stars as I so like the panels on this play pen.

The door latches are super loose, not much movement allows them to bounce up. There is a little screw that you can tighten to make them firmer but seriously, they are horribly tiny and a big pain to use. I'm going to see if we can find a way to use regular size latches to keep it closed. … more

I would love to give this 5 stars, however, our 14 lb lab jumps up and manages to distort it from a rectangle to a triangle with just his weight. He literally can move it across the floor by continually jumping into the area where the panels meet. If there was a way of stabilizing the sides of the panels together I would have given it 5 stars! I really wanted it to work.

We bought this as a playpen for my puppy but it often ended up being used as a gate to keep her off of places we didn't want her to be like couches or away from things like house plants that she would eat given the opportunity. I will say, my friend used it in place of a crate for her two puppies when they were young and they loved it, the high walls made it impossible to escape and it was a bit larger than the average crate so the two puppies could stay together.

Was easy to put together, looks better than the black wire gates. It is not super strong, but does it's job in keeping the Dane puppy where she should be (even though she could jump it if she were smarter). I used it to make 'Z' barriers for doorways.

This is my 2nd time buying this item. First purchase had no door. Initially I thought it would be a flaw but removing the connector sticks is like a sliding into home base task . You can do it in a couple seconds. This second version put in a tiny door yet they make the consumer attach the hardware? At that, the instructions are printed on a single sheet of paper with mis-labeled, enumerated hardware on one side and instructions on the back side. Why are two sheets of paper that difficult to include or better just putting it all on the same side so you are not flipping the instructions back and forth?

Take my advice and open up a picture of this play pen when attaching the hardware and throw away the instructions. They are wrong! Also the hardware is really funky stuff. I’m sure a determined dog could break thru this door based upon the cheesy hardware. Not impressed. If there is an option to get a plain panel vs the panel with a door just go for the straight panel and forget the door. Unless the manufacturer decides to install the hardware I. I love the pen for many reasons. I hate the hardware on the door they added. I feel like they owe me a free solid panel without the door. … more

We've an open concept house, so purchased this for a pug puppy. Easy, sturdy setup, has rubber tips to protect floors. Side panels are moveable so you can configure it to fit your space. A good playpen for leaving puppy when you don't just want to crate.

It is a perfect play pen for my puppy! It is easy to move and position iinto different shapes. A plus is that the puppy cannot jump over the top of the panels!

My first playpen arrived without parts, contacted customer service and a new playpen arrived the next day, easy to assemble , lots of room for bed toys, food dishes and pee pad if needed
